Bird Faces Art Collection (closeup portraits)

Even within the same species, individual birds have individual faces. And their faces change based on the season. It is commonly known that their plumage changes when it is breeding season, but many people are not aware that, in many cases, so does the color of their face. Here are some of my favorites. I have altered the backgrounds to highlight the color of the face, but the bird face is as it was photographed.
